What you can automate today

Redbird gives your team ready-to-run workflows — just connect your accounts and go.

Auto-refresh headcount and attrition dashboards from live Workday data

Pull current employee counts, turnover rates, and organizational structure from Workday into Tableau on a schedule. Leadership sees real-time workforce metrics without waiting for monthly HR exports. Redbird maps Workday's employee hierarchy to your dashboard structure automatically.

Build compensation analysis dashboards from Workday payroll and bonus data

Extract salary bands, merit increases, and bonus distributions from Workday to power comp ratio analysis in Tableau. Finance and HR leaders get visibility into pay equity and budget utilization. Redbird handles sensitive data masking and aggregation rules.

Sync new hire, termination, and transfer data for people analytics

Flow hiring pipeline metrics, exit data, and internal mobility records from Workday into Tableau talent dashboards. Track recruiting velocity, regrettable attrition, and career progression patterns. Redbird enriches records with tenure calculations and cohort tagging.

Push Tableau dashboard usage data back to Workday for training tracking

Capture who's accessing critical executive dashboards in Tableau and log engagement in Workday training records. HR can track analytics adoption as part of manager development programs. Redbird correlates user activity with employee IDs automatically.

Alert HR when dashboard KPIs exceed Workday thresholds

Monitor attrition rates, time-to-fill, or span of control metrics in Tableau and trigger notifications in Workday when targets are breached. Create tasks for HR business partners when their region shows concerning trends. Redbird evaluates dashboard filters and sends context-aware alerts.

Enrich workforce planning models with financial actuals from Workday

Combine headcount forecasts in Tableau with real-time budget utilization and cost center data from Workday Financials. FP&A teams model hiring capacity against actual spend without manual reconciliation. Redbird joins employee and financial dimensions across both systems.

Live in four steps

No engineers, no pipelines to maintain. Redbird handles the connectivity — you focus on the outcome.

01

Connect your accounts

Authorize Tableau and Workday with OAuth or API credentials. Redbird never stores your data — it just passes through.

02

Describe what you want

Tell Redbird what to do in plain language — no SQL, no code, no configuration files required.

03

Review and activate

Redbird shows you exactly what it will do before running anything. Approve the workflow, set a schedule, and switch it on.

04

Let it run — and iterate

Workflows run on your schedule or on triggers. Every run is logged. Adjust with natural language at any time.

Built for data-driven teams

Redbird understands Workday's employee, organizational, and financial data structures alongside Tableau's data source connections and dashboard semantics, so you can automate the entire flow from HCM to visualization.

AI that reads Workday schemas and Tableau data models

Redbird maps Workday's worker records, supervisory organizations, position hierarchies, and compensation elements to Tableau dimensions and measures without custom scripting. It understands effective dating in Workday and handles slowly changing dimensions for historical trend analysis. When your org structure changes or new cost centers are added, Redbird updates your Tableau extracts and maintains referential integrity across employee, job, and financial entities.
